Port PR #979's silent pre-indexing and add an Indexing Display setting
(Popup / Status Bar Text / Status Bar Icon) so users can choose how
indexing feedback is shown.
Silent pre-indexing runs on text-only penultimate pages when a status
bar option is selected, with a standard requestUpdate to clear the
indicator. Image pages skip silent indexing to avoid e-ink grayscale
pipeline conflicts; the normal popup handles those transitions. Direct
chapter jumps always show the original small popup regardless of setting.

Fix clock persistence bug caused by stale legacy read in settings
deserialization. Add clock size setting (Small/Medium/Large) and
timezone selection with North American presets plus custom UTC offset.
Move all clock-related settings into a dedicated Clock tab, rename
"Home Screen Clock" to "Clock", and move minute-change detection to
main loop so the header clock updates on every screen.

- 1-book view: horizontal layout with cover left, title/author right
- 2-3 book view: fix cover stretching by preserving aspect ratio
- 0-book view: show "Choose something to read" placeholder
- Selection highlight now fully contains title and author text
- Add optional clock display in home screen header (AM/PM or 24H)
- Add "Home Screen Clock" setting under Display
- Add "Set Time" activity for manual clock setting via Settings
- Increase homeCoverTileHeight to 310 for title/author breathing room

**What is the goal of this PR?**
This PR introduces Internationalization (i18n) support, enabling users
to switch the UI language dynamically.
**What changes are included?**
- Core Logic: Added I18n class (`lib/I18n/I18n.h/cpp`) to manage
language state and string retrieval.
- Data Structures:
- `lib/I18n/I18nStrings.h/cpp`: Static string arrays for each supported
language.
- `lib/I18n/I18nKeys.h`: Enum definitions for type-safe string access.
- `lib/I18n/translations.csv`: single source of truth.
- Documentation: Added `docs/i18n.md` detailing the workflow for
developers and translators.
- New Settings activity:
`src/activities/settings/LanguageSelectActivity.h/cpp`
This implementation (building on concepts from #505) prioritizes
performance and memory efficiency.
The core approach is to store all localized strings for each language in
dedicated arrays and access them via enums. This provides O(1) access
with zero runtime overhead, and avoids the heap allocations, hashing,
and collision handling required by `std::map` or `std::unordered_map`.
The main trade-off is that enums and string arrays must remain perfectly
synchronized—any mismatch would result in incorrect strings being
displayed in the UI.
To eliminate this risk, I added a Python script that automatically
generates `I18nStrings.h/.cpp` and `I18nKeys.h` from a CSV file, which
will serve as the single source of truth for all translations. The full
design and workflow are documented in `docs/i18n.md`.
- [x] Python script `generate_i18n.py` to auto-generate C++ files from
CSV
- [x] Populate translations.csv with initial translations.
Currently available translations: English, Español, Français, Deutsch,
Čeština, Português (Brasil), Русский, Svenska.
Thanks, community!
**Status:** EDIT: ready to be merged.
As a proof of concept, the SPANISH strings currently mirror the English
ones, but are fully uppercased.

Did you use AI tools to help write this code? _**< PARTIALLY >**_
I used AI for the black work of replacing strings with I18n references
across the project, and for generating the documentation. EDIT: also
some help with merging changes from master.
